Designation of operation (s):
¾ Rifle to be sighted-in with the rear sight in position “2” at a range of 100 m.
¾ Rectify point of impact, if necessary.
¾ Elevation adjustment:
Insert elevation adjustment tool into the rear sight cylinder so that the wedges of the tool
engage the two slots in the cylinder which contain the catch bolts. Press Phillips-head
screwdriver downward into the adjustment tool and hold firm. Turn rear sight cylinder
manually in the desired direction. Turning clockwise lowers the point of impact 3.3 cm (1.29
in.) per click at 100 m (109 yds.), turning counter-clockwise raises is correspondingly. After
correction withdraw Phillips-head screwdriver and remove elevation adjustment tool. The
catch will then re-engage in the slots. After performing the elevation set the desired
aperture again.
¾ Windage adjustment:
Point of impact, left: Loosen clamping screw on top of sight base. Turn adjusting screw on
the right side counter-clockwise in accordance with the required correction. Then retighten
clamping screw.
Point of impact, right: Loosen clamping screw. Turn adjusting screw clockwise until the
required correction has been performed. Then retighten clamping screw.
Note: Each revolution of the adjusting screw moves the mean point of impact 13.2 cm
(5.19 in.) to the left or right at a range of 100 m (109 yds.).
